London's approaching political struggles. Plus the annexation of Surrey, Jane's London blog and the fantastic pieces of Kit Malthouse<p>By the time you read these words I'll have emerged from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealing_Broadway_station">a westerly tip of the Central Line</a> and begun a morning in the company of Ealing's Safer Transport Team. I'll be following them eagerly as they leap from bus to bus, deterring crime and anti-social behaviour and generally providing a reassuring presence to public transport users. But even as I'm in the company of law enforcement officers I'll be casing the territory for trinkets of political insight. </p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/feb/03/metropolitan-lines-ealing-suzuki-surrey-kit-malthouse">Continue reading...</a>Kit MalthouseFri, 05 Feb 2010 08:37:32 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/feb/03/metropolitan-lines-ealing-suzuki-surrey-kit-malthousePeter Dench/CorbisA Southall pubDave Hill2010-02-05T08:37:32ZDave Hill's Guardian London newsletter disucsses Twiggy, Kit Malthouse and the WEZhttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/sep/25/metropolitan-lines-blogpost
Beauty, Neasden, and why our galleries shouldn't badger us for donations. Plus the fallout from the WEZ wars and a public love-in at the MPA.<p>The words &quot;glamour&quot; and &quot;Neasden&quot; rarely inhabit the same sentence, but when they do the name &quot;Twiggy&quot; is often there too. Why, I seem to have written just such a sentence myself. The reason for that is my short but rewarding visit on Tuesday to <a href="http://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/event-root/twiggy-a-life-in-photographs.php">Twiggy: A Life In Photographs</a> at the National Portrait Gallery, where the most famous former resident of the London suburb <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neasden_F.C.">rendered comic by Private Eye</a> is celebrated for <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/sep/19/twiggy-at-60-interview">becoming 60 years old</a>. </p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/sep/25/metropolitan-lines-blogpost">Continue reading...</a>Kit MalthouseFri, 25 Sep 2009 10:03:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/sep/25/metropolitan-lines-blogpostNational Portrait Gallery LondonTwiggy.

We don't need a public row over who is in charge of the Met, we need a proper debate<p>It's quite entertaining in a cheap kind of way that Kit Malthouse, the Mayor's deputy for policing, is <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/sep/03/police-boris">in trouble with Scotland Yard</a>. In a Guardian interview he <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/sep/02/tories-boris-johnson-aide-police">told the world</a> what he's been telling people in his vicinity for months: that he and Boris have got their &quot;hands on the tiller&quot; of the Metropolitan Police and a jolly good thing too. During his <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/audio/2009/sep/03/police-london-conservatives-control">chat with Vikram Dodd</a>, Malthouse paid tribute to Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson, whose accession to the post he supported and had paved the way for by bringing about the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/oct/03/blair.london">spectacular departure</a> of Sir Ian Blair. Sir Paul, alas, responded with fury. The measured tone of his <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2009/sep/04/metropolitan-police-conservatives-control">letter today</a> belies his rage at any suggestion that under his leadership the Met has become the poodle of the Tories of City Hall.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/sep/04/metropolitan-lines-blogpost">Continue reading...</a>Kit MalthouseFri, 04 Sep 2009 09:33:47 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/sep/04/metropolitan-lines-blogpostStefan Rousseau/PADave Hill2009-09-04T09:33:47Z
